Abstract:
A liquid filter arrangement is provided, as well as methods of assembly and use. The liquid filter arrangement includes an anti-drain back valve assembly therein. Advantageous features, relating to a preferred filter cartridge and preferred anti-drain back valve arrangement, are provided.
Abstract:
A diesel filter includes a case, a cap for closing the opening of the case, an element housed in the case, and an attachment member having a holding portion and a bracket. The attachment member and the cap hold the case therebetween. The bracket is provided to fix the diesel filter to a predetermined portion. The cap can be detached in a state where the attachment member is fixed to the predetermined portion by the bracket, so that the element can be replaced in the same state.
Abstract:
A “no filter, no run” filtration system that is designed to verify that a filter cartridge is present to safe-guard against damage to fuel injectors, associated fuel components, etc. and engine malfunctions. Fuel flow to the engine is prevented altogether or permitted in an amount insufficient to allow engine operation if a filter cartridge is not installed, and an appropriately designed filter cartridge is required to be used in order to permit sufficient fuel flow for engine operation. In one embodiment, a flow restriction valve is provided that includes a ball.
Abstract:
A filter device comprising a filter element (9), which can be received in a housing (1) that can be closed by means of a cover part (3) having fluid ducts (35, 41), a connecting unit being provided in order to create a fluid-conducting connection between the filter element (9) and an associated fluid duct (35) of the cover part (3), is characterized in that the connecting unit is configured in the form of a coupling having a movable coupling part (33), which in the functional state creates the fluid-conducting connection.
Abstract:
A liquid filter arrangement is provided, as well as methods of assembly and use. The liquid filter arrangement includes an anti-drain back valve assembly therein. Advantageous features, relating to a preferred filter cartridge and preferred anti-drain back valve arrangement, are provided.
Abstract:
A filtering system has a filter housing and a filter element and having a raw side and a clean side arranged in the filter housing. Liquid introduced into the filter housing flows through the filter element from the raw side to the clean side. An overflow valve is disposed between the raw side and the clean side of the filter element. The overflow valve is moved into an open position should a pressure of the liquid on the raw side of the filter element surpass a limit value. The overflow valve has an adjustable valve body loaded by a valve spring and made from plastic material. The filter element and of the filter housing structurally supplement one another such that the filter element is positioned precisely in the filter housing and relative rotation of the filter element relative to the filter housing is prevented.
Abstract:
A filter system having a filter element ejection device is provided. Filter systems according to the present invention may include a filter element that includes an ejection receiver for receiving actuation action from an ejector of a filter housing. The ejector engages the ejection receiver when a user desires to eject the filter element from the filter housing. Typically, the ejector extends through the filter housing and axially ejects the filter element from the housing.
Abstract:
A filter element includes a first, outer tubular construction of filter media defining a first open filter interior; a second, inner tuber construction of filter media defining a second open filter interior; the second construction of filter media being located within the first open filter interior and being radially spaced from the first construction of filter media; and the second open filter interior defines an unfiltered fluid channel. A plastic inner liner is within the first open filter interior to support the first construction of filter media. A plastic outer liner is within the first open filter interior to support the second construction of filter media. A filtered fluid channel is defined between the inner liner and the outer liner. A brace arrangement is between the first and second tubular constructions. The brace arrangement can include a spring, a plurality of gussets, or a solid spacer.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge includes a substantially cylindrical filter media and a pressure relieving structure. The filter media is adapted to allow fluid to pass from an exterior of the filter media to an interior space of the filter media. The pressure relieving structure is disposed at an upper end of the filter media, and the pressure relieving structure opens when a predetermined pressure level is established across the filter media to maintain the predetermined pressure across the filter media.
Abstract:
A liquid filter assembly is provided. The preferred assembly includes a serviceable filter cartridge having a primary filter section and a secondary or bypass filter section. The preferred assembly includes a bypass valve arrangement and a suction filter arrangement. The suction filter arrangement preferably includes a dimensionally biased valve arrangement, preferably one which is devoid of a helical coiled spring, to control flow through the suction filter. A flow/pressure regulation valve, to allow flow from an interior of the assembly to a reservoir if needed, is preferably provided. Preferred serviceable filter cartridges are shown.
